History

LRA attacked Bariguna on 24 June 2009. They kidnapped 20 villagers.[1] Alleged LRA attacked the Ugandan military base in Bariguna on 13 October 2009.[2] They also assassinated the son of Bariguna chief.[3]

SPLM-IO established its base in Bariguna around May 2018 after suffering defeat from the SSDF forces in Nadiangere. Their presence in the village caused the displacement among villagers.[4]

Healthcare

The village has one health center.[5] During the conflict, the armed group looted the health center's properties and medicines.[6]
